very entertaining game, much better then you usually see in week 1.

yup...auditioning on the fly so to speak and by mid/last 3rd of season see who the go to main 3 will be, and have some serious solid depth who have played all yr...been clamouring for that for 2+ yrs....its a need to do thing curious to see how they use Fletcher...I assume same way as Dixon as both built to be outside and inside guys...If he shows real good...which I expect he will...Having both him and DIxon on roster would be huge, and WJ and Cersena will eat all yr...and Jenkins can be allowed to just focus on getting better and fine tune his attack the QB technique Thats why I also hope Elsbury is auditioning too right now and gainig reps and when Eli is ready and 100 percent he gets a few games and then we go with the best...cause that Import spot easily allows us to dress all of WJ..Ceresna..Jenkins..Dixon and Fletcher to go with lawson and Gatkouth...That would make us a way better team than removing one the DL guys for an imoort center who is ok...but not amazing That group of dlineman being able to be fresh all game and offer varied looks will terrorize opposing offences

I believe I'm in for at least 5... June against Ham, July 24/31, a mid Aug game, and Banjo Bowl... At minimum.

This is definitely the point I was trying to make with my post Saturday morning. I was as angry as anyone with some of the shitty play we saw at times Friday, but at the end of the day, that's a graveyard for us for a very long time and the conditions were awful. Getting two points is, literally and figuratively, a huge win.

I will always be stoked anytime they win a game in that stadium. I know it’s been better in recent years, but I mean they went 12 years between wins in Calgary at one point and if I’m correct (2002-2019) 17 seasons between winning games there that actually mattered to both teams (2014 and 17 were last week of the season with no stakes for the Stampeders) Wins at McMahon are to be savoured.

Woodbey listed as having a Calf injury on the report. Wonder if that means he didn't damage his Achilles and it might not be as serious.

Yeah I would suspect Smith should see a lot of the field now, and Shay as well getting some work. I think Kelly was taking Smiths reps in the first game as Smith was pulled in the 1st quarter...well I hope...even better yet it better been the reason And I agree we tend to over rotate guys outside of the dline and I think it some ways it actually hurst the flow...let the guys who are on point that game stay on point and really get into a cohesive crew.....and then sprinkle in some diff looks personel wise...for most part a lot of what we do is the same look...just different guys in the role and in all honesty it isnt fooling anyone...if anything the teams seem to attack where we stuck a weaker player But on the positive its given depth/rotation guys valuable game resp when the game still matters....so if we do get in an injury pinch we know who can play, and wont feel the need to rush in less than 100 percent guys cause we actually have experienced depth that we know can play...

I think we are likely going with Texada over Kelly as well. Be interesting now that Smith is healthy if it translates into him and Shay taking on the Woodby role. I like the use of LBers thus far, although maybe a little too much rotation, but guys are seeing the field. With the heavy rotations we saw in game 1, it seems to me that Younger is looking for someone to step up and grab the job at a few positions. I like that. Ride the hot hand if one emerges.

That's the million dollar question. If there's a player that either team would want and we were willing to part with, that team would still end up with a really good prospect at #8 and a proven player so it's the best of both worlds for them. They both have 2 first round picks this year too so they're in a really good position for the draft.

All phases of our special teams was pretty darn good considering first game and real bad weather.

WHAT IS HAPPENING???

Same thing we did in camp with several guys in TC just before we axed them maybe. Could be they just wanted to give Kelly a look with all the talent around him to see if there is anything there left to salvage. Just a theory. Yea...for sure. Calgary is pretty deep as well but we are right there with them I think.

could rival CGY when all guys healthy as one the best...looking forward to that again

And unlike Richards, he can't buy new blood

I stand by my theory that Younger is rotating guys outside the DL, particularly in the Lber crew, because the talent level among them is that darn close and since it is, why not give our aging backers both a rest and some competition nipping on their heels. If one of the young guys grabs a job by the onions that would be a bonus and something I'm sure that Younger is hoping for. Let's face it, if T Jones and KW are our plan beyond this year then we have some serious problems. Therefore, I think this year Younger is transitioning. Let the vets soak up reps while they are still useful, but if a young guy pushes one of them out, that would be the goal.

It's a discussion board where people dissect the game in their own way and share their diverse perspectives good, bad and/or indifferent.

100 percent...it's pro sports and if you dont like getting feelings hurt or criticized, or you dont have the onions to make the decisions that might do that to someone you need to step away...I still think it's a issue of Osh and Walters being too good of chums. And yes this yr Walter's did his part... jury out on Osh somewhat for the moment.....I am somewhat positive so far tho with the fact he brought Fletcher on to roster to accommodate loss of Dixon for a bit instead of promoting Korn is a very good...and smart thing to see....

I agree. MOS should not allow Younger to get too cute with his lineup, Walters should not allow OSH to play favorites, and OSH should be banging down the door asking for holes in his roster to be filled. Let's be clear at certain times over the past few years we have seen both Osh and Walters underperform. If this is a trinity, someone needs to step in when Walters takes a season off and kick his arse, or when Osh doesn't have the plums to take JT off the roster. I seriously think that Walters has been our biggest problem the past 2-3 years because he is supposed to be the bottom line, and coming out of the business world I've learned that you don't blame your employees for the mess because it is on you to make sure that doesn't happen. That being said it looks like Walters showed up to earn his pay cheque this year, now it's time for the coaches to make sure the work pays off. As much as we like to grouse about Jake Kelly taking a few practice reps, it seems that Osh's rostering looks better this year.

Nope, we must complain...it is imperative. Never mind that we were on the road in gale force winds...irrelevant.

@Noeller , you coming to any games at PAS this year?

for our first...with some guys playing their first time this spring really with no Pre-season work to mention, pretty encouraging for sure

HE WAS good as a rookie and showed serious potential...blew out his knee and post surgery just seems to have lost his closing ability and his big asset, which was his speed/quickness seems to have not come fully back and he is now forever in chase mode yup...he hasnt been the same since and has become the back end roster Canadian now....Ayola the global would prob offer just as much on teams now he back and if he picked up some seasoning and development in the NFL..which he musta being there for 2 yrs he had to have shown something...I'd put him in on that spot of roster as a teams demon and see what he does....and give him some rotation reps....u dont know what you got until you actually give a player a opportunity The perplexing part is the usage of Kelly who hasn't really made a play since his rookie yr on defense when you don't need to is just plain...well dumb If it Younger pushing for it Osh as the HC should have the plums to say..."sorry but we gonna use..Vaval...Smith...Shay"...whomever, and if it's Osh who made that call...Then we are again dealing with the same brain dead moves again and likely gonna have to suffer with it all yr until that player goes down with a season ender

Updated: Larkin has demanded to be added to both the 2025/2026 Vegas roster and the 2025/2026 Hurricanes to cover all bases to get his name on the cup.

Are there more practice updates from DT? Don't have an X account. @DTonOB how about some Bluesky updates too!

Yep. Boy, am I looking forward to watching him get whupped by Ceresna this week.

CENTRELOGAN FERLAND | SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS Two-time All-CFL centre Logan Ferland continues to anchor Saskatchewan’s offensive line in 2026 (Kevin Sousa/CFL.ca) With Woodmansey starting the season at guard in Edmonton, it made giving Logan Ferland the top nod at centre that much easier. Anchoring the middle of Saskatchewan’s line, Melfort product Ferland has been a mainstay since becoming a CFL regular in 2021. And if you need more evidence of that, Ferland has been named to the All-CFL team the last two years. 2. David Beard | Edmonton Elks 3. Chris Kolankowski | Hamilton Tiger-Cats Top centres in the league lmfao. The pinheads that write for CFL.CA are truly clueless arnt they?

I swear most games in 1999, Kerwin Bell would have 125 yards passing through 3 quarters and then would pile the numbers up in the 4th when we were down by 3 touchdowns. Worst 5000 yard passing season ever.

Jake Kelly taking reps with the starting D, are. you. kidding. me?
